Answer: the effects of cholera toxin on cAMP in the intestinal cells is that it INCREASES cAMP production.

Explanation:

Vibrio cholerae is a gram negative bacterium which produces a protein cholera toxin that is responsible for the characteristic symptoms of cholera such as

watery diarrhea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, loss of skin elasticity, low blood pressure, thirst, and muscle cramps. There is need for body fluids and Na replacement to avoid severe dehydration results which may lead to death.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate( cAMP) is a derivative used for intracellular signal transduction in organisms. The cholera toxin produced by the bacteria INCREASES the production of cAMP through its polypeptides( which consist of active protomer and binding protomer). The cholera toxin first binds to cell surface receptors, the protomer then enters the cell and bind with and activate the adenylate cyclase. Increasing adenylate cyclase activity will INCREASE cellular levels of cAMP, increasing the activity of ion pumps that remove ions from the cell. Due to osmotic pressure changes, water also must flow with the ions into the lumen of the intestinal mucosa, dehydrating the tissue. I hope this helps, thanks.

Draw the structures of the following compounds from their names: Pentane 3-methyl-hexane 2,4-dimethylpentane
Monica [59]

I am assuming that the compounds given are Pentane, 3-methyl-hexane, and 2, 4-dimethylpentane considering that the compounds were not separated by a comma.

_______________________________________________________

Pentane is in the form of a straight chain alkane. This is important as there are many isomers of Pentane, taking different shapes. By it's name it consists of 5 carbon atoms, and the number of hydrogen atoms should be 12, as the compound is nonpolar.

3-methylhexane is an alkane present in a hexane structure at position 3. There are thus 3 molecules at 3 ends of a hexane structure - H3C, CH3, and CH3

2,4-dimethylpentane is an alkane with respect to the formula [(H3C)2CH]2CH2.

With that information, refer to the three attachments below, for each compound given. They are in order -

Which of the following illustrates the conservation of matter? A. SnO2 + H2 --> Sn + 2 H2O B. 2 C + O2 --> CO2 C. KOH + HB
olga2289 [7]

C. KOH + HBr → KBr + H₂O

Explanation:

The two equations above illustrates the conservation of matter. The law of conservation of matters states that

               "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

By this law, we understand that the amount of a particular matter we are starting with should be the one we end with.

    KOH + HBr → KBr + H₂O

Conserving                          Product                          Reactants

     K                                         1                                           1

     O                                         1                                           1

      H                                         2                                          2

We can see that the amount on both sides are the same.

laila [671]

<span>Let's assume that the oxygen gas has ideal gas behavior. 
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
      PV = nRT</span>


Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.

P = 2.2 atm = 222915 Pa

Answer: With each input, there is an output, a recipe requires certain ingredients, and certain amounts of each. A recipe calls for measurements, missing something can ruin it, just like a chemical formula, take something out or add something else, you get something completely different. when putting things together to make something you have to make sure what your putting in, will give you the product you want as the output.
